As a heads up, which I think every college student on these boards will echo... but no matter how fantastic your high school was... it's nothing compared to college. Period.
Hard work and good time management skills are great assets, but they're not going to make it so you won't have to work hard, or even work significantly less. I myself came into college with nearly 32 credits... thinking things wouldn't be so bad.
The AP classes in high school just replace the easy, introductory classes in college where a lot of help is provided for freshman. What makes college what it is, is the projects that require 80 hours of group work, not the 4 hours of calc homework you do each week. I too took Diff Eq as a freshman, and it was a big reality check for me. Instead of getting the whole college environment gradually set in, you're set up in classes with a lot of non-freshman who know a lot of the tricks of the trade, and you're behind the eight ball sometimes... be ready, and good luck!
